Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
Marty Tilford (Vancouver WA area) is looking for an adapter to go from a Dodge Slant 6 to a long t-90 transmission. Anyone have one of these? Email him at moparman63 @ yahoo.com (remove the spaces around the “@”) for more info.
Rich is hoping to find a set of vintage Gates Commando Tires. He’s open to different 15″ sizes from G70 to 10-15 or whatever someone might have. You can email him at squareweave @ shaw.ca if you have something.
Here’s a photo of what the XTs look like:
Mickey Thompson has reproduced a set of 27″ Gates for the dune buggy folks, but I’ve not had much luck finding any other vintage Gates-like tires.
Dean’s working on this Converto Trailer. It’s got hubs with a 5×4.5 bolt pattern. He’s wondering how he might find replacement hubs. Anyone have ideas on what would fit?
Here’s the trailer:
Here are the current hubs:

Tyler is looking for a truck: “I am looking to purchase a 1962 Willys Pickup. Stock. Restoration/Project Condition. Must have the L6-226 engine and original bed.”
If you have something or know someone who does, email him at ttedford61@yahoo.com
Carlos Lopez from Navarro, Spain, is seeking a civilian L-134 in good condition from someone willing to ship the engine to Spain. He’s rebuilding the very first MB-CJ3B built in Spain (Civvy L-134s were installed in the early ones http://www.mb-cj3b.com/home_en/mb-cj3b_history). He’s spent the past year looking around Spain for an engine, but has had no luck finding one. Based on an ebay example he sent me (that seller won’t ship internationally), he’s willing to pay a reasonable amount for the engine (of course he’ll foot the shipping).
It sounds like a worthy project. Email me at d@ewillys.com and I’ll provide his email.
Here are some pics of his jeep. He’s buying parts as he can.
If you are curious, here’s a restoration of another MB-CJ3B from 2008: http://www.mb-cj3b.com/home_en/my_restoration
Mitchell is looking for a DJ-3A hardtop for his DJ-3A Dispatcher. He’s located in the midwest. Since he has the delivery body and windshield, the best match might be the Koenig made tops with the sliding doors. Here’s Mitchell’s project:
Here’s the hardtop that would work with his windshield. These pics come from the CJ-3B page:
This is the standard delivery top with out a rear window.
This is the CJ-5 version. The window ads extra visibility. I’m pretty sure that this top will fit the DJ as well. Anyone actually tried this?
Maury is hoping to find a set of installation instructions for his NOS Warn M2 3-ring type hubs.
“I have a set of NOS Warn M2 hubs in the original box that’s missing the instruction sheet, and am trying to either find or reproduce one. If someone has an original copy they’d be willing to sell, great – but a good scan or photo of the unfolded document would also suffice to reproduce it. Here’s a photo of the installation instructions / owner’s manual with a set of early Warn locking hubs. The sheet folded down to about 3″ x 3”:
Scott is looking for a set of nutmeg colored doors for his 1977 CJ-5. Anyone have them? Contact him at 908/642-5614.
Blake is looking for some replacement side panels for a CJ-6 project he has, but can’t located any replacement panels for the 20″ spacer installed into the body. Anyone know of either a template or someone that makes them?
